This is similar to the FEAR 2 deal at Warner Brothers but they just updated their website with Arkham Asylum here:
*currently dead
http://whv.warnerbros.com/WHVPORTAL/Portal/browsesearchtitles.jsp?functionmode=13&titleORCastCrew=batman%20arkham%20asylum
*currently dead
In the checkout use this coupon code: WBSURVYJ9

It will take 25% off your order. Get the order over $50, and the shipping is free.

The game comes out May 26. Unless I am mistaken, this game should retail for $60.

1. Free shipping doesn't mean it will be a deal considering it will take a month to get to you.

2. If you don't do free shipping and pay whatever outragous fee it doesn't mean you'll get it before that month.

Oh... yeah, then there is the CS or lack of it.

AVOID

You'll thank me later.

Agreed. AVOID. I had a handful of my buddies order FEAR 2 last week, and none of them have even received a shipping number yet. Some did the free shipping deal, some paid more for the express shipping. All of their orders still say processing.

Plus, its still a little bit to early for me to tell if I want this game yet or not. Thanks for posting it though, as im sure some people will bite, and wait for it if need be. :)

Added Batman Begins Blu-ray to bring the total to $50.92. So add something $19.99 to just break the $50 mark.

I am going through trying to get my order for the FEAR 2 deal. Some have gotten most have not. Working on 9 days now....

Still a hellva deal if they could only get their shit together with shipping I would be all in. Just don't want to buy a game then wait 3 weeks for it to ship

I got my Fear2 from the offer 2 days ago along with a Blu-Ray movie for the free shipping. I do agree that their website sucks in terms of tracking your order or keeping you informed. You have to go into some third party website, etc.

Is anyone else a little worried about the fact that this game is being sold for $36? I'd hate to think that WB is thinking of this as a bargain title.

Is anyone else a little worried about the fact that this game is being sold for $36? I'd hate to think that WB is thinking of this as a bargain title.

The same thing happened with FEAR 2. They had their price as $48 and then you could get 25% more off that. My copy shipped on Wednesday and should be here tomorrow, which is good enough for me when I'm saving $24 on it.

Taboner
02-16-2009, 08:59 PM
I got my answer from them finally. I ordered Shellshock 2 as well with it. They combine their orders so it will ship out once SS2 comes out on 2/24. Go for it guys.

argyle
02-16-2009, 09:06 PM
I'm very tempted...the game & Dark Knight on blu-ray for $5. If you select free shipping, will they ship everything at once or will they go ahead & send the movie?

bojay1997
02-16-2009, 09:07 PM
I have never had a problem with their service. It takes a little longer than other sites to ship (up to a week after release), but they are basically selling the games for almost half off, so I don't think people should complain.

Taboner
02-16-2009, 09:07 PM
I believe they send them together? That's what happened to me.

Admiral Moo
02-16-2009, 09:10 PM
I tried to pre-order Batman: The Animated Series from them back when they had the 25% off deal. My order was cancelled because it was "on backorder," yet when I went to the site the day it came out you could add a copy to your cart.

I'm in for one so the same thing can happen again.

Kevbo887
02-16-2009, 09:11 PM
Hmmm maybe thats why my buddies have had some problems. Most of them ordered Shell Shock 2 with it.

Myself, im personally glad I did not bite on the deal. I bought Fear 2, beat it (awesome game) and then sold it on ebay for the same price I paid for it. I guess it worked out. But yet again, I was really anticipating Fear 2 and did not want to wait for it.

Taboner
02-16-2009, 09:12 PM
Yeah. I was lucky to get an intelligent CS guy. He explained it all to me. I will be on a school retreat that week that they will ship so it is all good.

02-16-2009, 09:17 PM
the previews for this game are looking good right? Is it easy to cancel an order if it turns out to be a shitty game?

If you're patient enough, you'll get your order. I've ordered a number of times before using their deals on WHV...on average I'd get my order in 1-3 weeks.

For fellow comic book fans, either of the 2 upcoming Watchmen DVDs will work to push you up to free shipping.

Great deal, thanks! This game looks like great... hopefully it actually IS.

Also grabbed Batman Begins BR with it to bring the price to $54.74 shipped.

psyanide82
02-16-2009, 09:42 PM
Nothing to do with this particular deal, but they shipped an order for Batman Begins and Gotham Knight way back when in July a week early, and I got the BluRays a couple of days before street date. So, I guess it's a mixed bag with these guys.

I've only ordered from this place once and never had any of the horror stories mentioned here. Now Columbia House, there's a place full of horror stories.

Anyway, if you're looking for some Blu-Ray goodness, on that same date as the game, True Romance, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Falling Down come out.

I've ordered several times from Warner Bros now and they have split up my shipments each time. They also use some of the largest boxes to ship movies in for some strange reason.

I will say though out of the 10 blu-ray movies I did order through them, they did slash through my copy of Batman Gotham Knight...but I should have took that as an omen (It's not that great...)

02-17-2009, 08:16 AM
Yeah I can't believe all the "AVOIDS" on this deal. $36 new shipped. If the game sucks, sell it on Ebay. Hell, it's $36 so with one of those trade-in coupons that will pop up after the game's release you could probably even trade it in if it sucks.

I'll be ordering as soon as I get home today.

For all the people who didn't receive their FEAR 2 yet:

What platform did you order it for? I received my PS3 version within a week.

Usually PS3 games are going to sell less than 360 versions. I am just wondering if it is the 360 version that people are having to wait for due to higher demand, or if it is just random.

02-17-2009, 12:57 PM
I just got my Fear 2 shipment today, which wasn't too bad for $36, especially given that my other item was the Battlestations preorder, so they obviously did split the order for faster shipping.

Granted, ordering something and then tracking it through their online store is a pretty crappy experience. I want to jump on Arkham, but what worries me are the two listings in the store, with identical details (prices, platforms) and yet obviously two different item numbers. I'm afraid to pick one and then have that be the wrong item.

I'm in for two, one for me and one for my girl. Also, as someone who saw an advance screening of Wonder Woman at NY Comic Con, BUY IT. It is one of the best animated films I have ever seen, and it looks like they pushed it almost to an R before cutting back to a PG-13. The plot is mature and well-written, lots of nods to Greek mythology, the humor caters to an adult audience, and since its not for TV, they didn't edit out the cleavage.

$27.95 before discount, about $21 after, enough to put you to free shipping and WELL worth it. Bruce Timm & Co did an amazing job with this.

I made the same order but my Batman Blu ray hasn't shipped yet. Hopefully it will soon. I did notice something to the affect of saying that in stock items will ship before pre-order items in my order confirmation email. It would be nice if the blu ray shipped before the game but I am in no hurry to get it.

Well, they're not budging on honoring the deal. The rep said even the orders placed won't be honored. Said the item was removed while this is all sorted out and that refunds will be issued to those that have already pre-ordered. Not sure if the $47.99 price will go back up for a while or not.

That just f'n sucks.

This is the same damn thing they did with my Batman: TAS pre-order. Screw them.

I got my Dark Knight br from my order today. So if they *do* try to cancel, I'm going to throw a fit - they can't ship half of my order & then renig on the other half.

That said, didn't they do this same deal/price for FEAR 2 & honor that? Don't really know why they'd try to back out on this one...

Well hopefully they're just like screw it, instead of pissing off the few people that got the $36 deal they'll let it go through.

No way I'll pay more than $36 for the game now. Family Video or someone will do it for around that a couple months after release, well, depending how quickly people dump it.

Has anyone heard any more from this deal that have ordered it, esp those who bought Shell Shock 2 which comes out tomorrow, haven't gotten an email saying it was shipped or will be shipped, and if they do ship it and cancel the Batman deal, I wounder if the entire order will be canceled, if they will just cancel the Batman deal and send you whatever other items you ordered, or if they do drop the Batman and they ship your order if they charge you for shipping now. SKETCHY!!!!!!

I ordered arkham and a filler bluray. Already got the bluray, so I assume you will get shellshock before AA is released

I did the F.E.A.R. 2 / Shellshock 2 deal. Received F.E.A.R. 2 via UPS on Monday and got a shipping notice for Shellshock 2: Blood Trails yesterday.

My Batman Begins Blu Ray shipped today. Looks like this deal may eventually go through whenever this game releases.

After seeing the metacritic score 33 for shellshock I cancel my order, Did receive FEAR2 on the cheap out of the deal

my guess is we'll know the final decision when they re-list Arkham Asylum on the Warner Brothers website.

they might do something like people who ordered more than just Arkham Asylum they suck it up and take the hit, those orders go through. The ones that only got Arkham Asylum may be cancelled/refunded, or at best something like free shipping, which wouldn't be a deal since $60 would be over the deal anyhow.

I ordered two copies of this game to get free shipping (figured might as well get one for my friend too) and just checked: canceled. Very, very weak. I emailed Warner and am hoping to hear their response. Very upset right now .. bah.

Got the following email response:


Dear Valued Customer,

Unfortunately, we are no longer able to ship Batman: Arkham Asylum and Battlestations as it is no longer available from our store. We have canceled this item your order and can confirm that your credit card will not be charged.


They did provide a 25% coupon code for blu-rays though .. meh. I'd much rather have had the game.

Just looked through all their blu-rays and the 25% does nothing for me .. nothing I want to get. Extremely disappointed.

I'm posting the e-mail in its entirety -- "GAME25" doesn't look like a unique code.

I got the same email today. I just emailed their customer service saying, basically, "If you can't be bothered to sell me something, why should I bother searching around to buy it?"

I'm just glad I tried to order two copies of the game and not a filler item since this is seeming like a bait-and-switch.

thaima1shu
03-31-2009, 08:22 PM
Well, at least there is a 25% code now for people that have something they want. I was given the same code

If you got a Bluray and Arkham, but got only the Arkham cancelled and recived your bluray, you can politely contact customerr service and they will let you have the price if you reorder. I am not sure why the orders were cancelled, and I was pissed, so I took an hour to cool off, wrote a polite message in their contact us form and got an email stating that if I call customer service and give them a code that I am not posting here they will honor the preorder price and put it back on preorder for me.

Remember be nice, it is usually the key to this type of thing!

Oh and if you are nice and get your order reinstated you can still use the GAME25 code for 25% off a Bluray also.
Batman Begins Blu $17.99
Dark Knight Blu+Digital $22 after 25% off (which is only slightly better than amazon price, it was not required either for free shipping on Arkham but I wanted it)
Arkham Asylum $35.96

My PS3 is Batman central now.

I did what you said and they decided to lie to me.






Dear Chris:

We are very sorry for the frustration with your shopping experience at Warner Home Video. Unfortunately, we have lost the permission rights to sell this game. Therefore, we had to cancel all preorders for this item.

We apologize for the inconvenience.


Sincerely,
